Admin style, input fields and dark OS themes

[tonyf12]

On the ACP, if you are using a dark OS theme (for example the HumanLogin theme included in Ubuntu), many of the form fields have an explicit background-color:#FFFFFF set. On most dark themes, the default font color is also white, so this causes the form fields to be displayed as white text on white background.

Possible fixes:
Remove the explicit background-color declaraton.
or
Add an explicit color:black declaration

Trac stripped out some newlines I didn't expect. I hope it's still readable.

Then we need to reset the foreground colors as well.

Can you please make a screenshot and upload it?

I tried to duplicate this issue on several OS's and browsers and all I found was that on certain high contrast settings this issue exists.

Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit high contrast, only firefox is effected, tested fine on ie and ff on windows 7

Future pending patch.

A bit of further feedback:

Chrome is unaffected, as are most of the windows browsers. Firefox on Linux uses the OS controls however, so is affected. Also still exists as of 3.0.1

Actually, just totally ignore that, I misread the issue I reported myself. Sorry, how do I delete comments?

*sigh* Ok, I'm really sorry, but turns out I was right with the files the first time.

Maybe something for UI?

If UI, then use ui-feedback.

Attached possible fix. I don't have Linux to test it with, so someone else may have to do that.

Ignore the first one. Had some left over changes from another fix.

Thanks for looking into this and providing a patch. Patch looks good in my eyes.

Nothing.
